Editorial question: when you say -

Friday, December 23 and Tuesday, December 27 (Pacific Time)

Do you mean 12:01 a.m. Friday, December 23 and 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, December 27 (Pacific Time)?

It seems off to say Pacific time with only dates in the sentence and no time actually mentioned. It has been a while since I took an english class, hence my question.

Apple does not give exact times: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=11292016a

I would assume between Friday, December 23 at 12:01 a.m. and Tuesday, December 27 at 11:59 p.m. as you mentioned.

Thanks for the link. I see that Apple was the one that used (Pacific Time) without mentioning any times. I will let it go, but it just looks odd like that.

Speaking of Apple and Holidays, where's the 12 Days of Christmas app?

I've noticed the review times have jumped from 1 day to 5-6 days

Very true they were complaining the stuff was a gimmick and after the download the album on every iPhone people got mad too.

Perhaps that was more related to the Thanksgiving holiday shutdown?

Good for us - that means a lot of discounted apps will be coming up

We are not even on December yet. I wonder if you like Walmart's Christmas on October

I used to look forward to this every year because of all the apps and games that went on sale. Now I just don't even care. Does anyone else here find that they hardly install any apps, much less buy any apps these days? I used to be an appoholic installing apps all the time. Maybe I just have less free time now, but I feel like I still keep up with things in the iOS and greater Apple community really well and there just aren't as many apps that blow me away any more and make me think "I must install this now!" I feel like I've got a really solid toolset of apps that cover my needs, so maybe that's also a part of it. I'm becoming an old man set in my ways. I pretty much only use iTunes gift cards for movies now.

There are so many Apps on the App store that nowadays I try to have only the ones I find most useful. So I don't find that I'm installing them as much anymore. Though I do replace apps I don't use any longer with ones I find more relevant to my needs.

Too controversial I guess.

People complained and left 1 star reviews if the FREE app didn't interest them.

Apple needs to fix up its rubbish search feature in the App Store and purge the store of dishonest apps that make claims that are false. Can't find the apps I want by name, rubbish results present instead. I can do better searches on PC DOS 5.0 back in the 1980s.

If Apple is about GREAT experiences, then this is a certain area for IMMEDIATE focus. Apple must be losing lots of app sales with such a buggy search feature, users can't find what they want.

Doesn't every day start at 12:01 AM ?

Same here.
